Keeping government out of religions’ business is a far more important facet of “prohibiting the free exercise thereof” than preventing “Under God” from ever being uttered in public places.

If bacon was shown to be efficacious against several forms of cancer

would the government mandate madrasahs and yeshivas to prescribe it? If beef short-ribs prevented avian flu, would a Gurdwara be fined for not serving them?

(btw – I firmly believe in birth control. Parenting well is the hardest job there is; entering it unwillingly wont make it easier and is likely to be good for none involved.)
